TRIPLE ANTIBIOTICS is a wonderful curative! It woke my Mother from a deep coma and brought her back w/a song in her voice. That is precisely what this combo will do for you, Kate! Bet you'll be humming to your IPOD in no time...

My prayers for you are non-stop, as are many others. Kavy, you're an angel for keeping us informed. Kate is thought of as a cherished Sister and we all truly care, so your updates mean the world to us. Thank you for being such an outstanding friend. Bless you. You are an excellent reporter, BTW, giving us all the details! I love the *and then she saids...* Feel like we're visiting her right there, as we wish we could. No. Better to let her rest and gather her strength.

Sending hugs, love and copious amounts of healing energy to you, Kate! Can't wait till you're up and posting again. Miss you. But, for now, focus on rebounding quickly, please...
